          <h2><a name="capture" id="capture"></a>Capturing a URL</h2>
          <p>ReservesDirect allows you to link to any content on the Internet
            that can be opened in a web browser, including web pages, documents,
            and content available through electronic journals and databases that
            Emory subscribes to.</p>
          <p>Always remember to include the &quot;http://&quot; prefix in any link you
            add.</p>
          <p>When linking to content in an electronic journal or database that
            the library subscribes to, be sure to select a &quot;persistent&quot; or permanent
            URL and not one that contains session IDs or other identifiers that
            cause the URL to time out or otherwise expire. In many cases, you
            will not be able to simple cut and paste the URL out of your browser
            window. For assistance in finding stable URLs, contact reserves staff
            at your library.</p>
          <h2><a name="describeURL" id="describeURL"></a>Describing The URL</h2>
          <p>The most basic descriptors for a URL are title and, if applicable,
            author or entity responsible for creating or maintaining it. If the
            link is a journal article or book chapter, you may also fill in bibliographic
            information in the additional fields.</p>
          <h2><a name="availability"></a>Availability of Materials</h2>
          <p>Links that you create are instantly available to your students,
            as long as the link is stable and target web site is available.</p>
